.."were they lying? I don't think so. I think they fucked up."..I agree big and time ..

a strike to the heart of the American power base ..the twin bastions of commerce and the military operations center turns out to be a potential "turning point" ...
1. nipped a dictator in the bud that was not helping the Muslim civilisation's cause.
2. similarly most surely has triggered the downfall of the Saudi Regime and others will follow.
3. mired the US in a political morass it may wish it had never stepped into (even with the consequent guarantee of secure (?)and lower oil prices)...and the loss of progress and competitive advantage in sustainable renewable technologies.....
4.provided a "shadow government" with the front of a questionable democratic Presidential election power to act under the cloud of fear that has been magnified to empower their Non-Democratic agenda.

5. while taking away the potential influence of Moderate Muslim and other civilization's leaders to create a more peaceful and honorable world ...favoring the radical extremists who want to destroy......

and so on it goes in a vicious downward spiral..

I would say by this one act (911) by a "terrorist" will go down in history as a major turning point...and the way I see it for now not for the good of our world.

I am sure in this unique forum there are points of views that can see alternative paths that I have not envisioned.

what are they?
